Our “little podcast”, our little audiowaves, started to create waves in the water of society. Season 2 of Keep it Science is officially wrapped up. Together with Nick Gaunt, I endeavoured to interview 12 fabulous people - from patients to academics, from community advocates to industry leaders, and
🤝 Media Partnership with ELRIG at Drug Discovery 2026 We are excited to announce our continued media partnership with ELRIG. Register now: elrig.org/portfolio/dr... #ELRIGDD26 #ELRIG #biotech #lifeScience #discovery
Remote work may be efficient, but nothing beats meeting your colleagues in person! Had a fabulous time visiting Nicole Brooks to talk about upcoming events, business development, and small-business challenges. Key takeaway: Make the journey. Metaphorically and literally.
The best science outputs often start on paper - with a good strategy. In this blog, I share practical steps for scientists to make sure their complex work is communicated in the best way possible. www.zeeks-artforgeeks.com/post/034-how... #ScienceCommunication #BiotechFounders #PersonalInsights
I often get asked if illness made me stronger. The honest answer? It made me kinder. In this episode of @Keep It Science, @KondwaniChirwa and I spoke about: • Empathy in healthcare • Why lived experience matters • How we can communicate science better 🎧 Listen now: youtu.be/6x9r9NfFcsc
📻️ Again, live on air (well, pre-recorded) at BBC Radio! Together with Dr Nick Gaunt, I will be talking about our Keep it Science podcast. This season, we put a spotlight on Rare Disease. > www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p... Big thanks to our wonderful guests! #podcast #rareDisease #autoimmune
What happens when you bring together digital media, science, and lived experiences? Let me tell you. It’s marvellous things! In this episode of Keep It Science, I spoke with Kondwani Chirwa from Freshrb Health Media and The Manchester Health Film Festival. 🎧 Listen now: youtu.be/6x9r9NfFcsc
💻 Image Registration Deep-Dive During my PhD, I spent a LOT of time on image registration, be it for motion correction or inter-sample registration. Since then, the field has moved on, but some challenges remain the same. 1/2
“Talk to patients. As much and as often as you can.” Patient engagement is one of the most important forms of reality-checking we have. 🎙️ Link: youtu.be/bkk_okQ3mtk imyos.bsky.social International Myositis Society theebmt.bsky.social European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation
Rare Disease: Research, Language, and Diagnosis One of the most important themes in a disease journey is language. How we use language shapes: • who gets diagnosed • how long it takes • which treatments are offered • and how patients understand their own bodies 🧵 1/3
“For me, quality means being able to work, to cook, to see my friends to be functional.” Dr Jesus Zurdo That sentence stayed with me. In my darkest time of my autoimmune journey with an overlap conditions of Scleroderma and Raynaud’s, I laid in bed for days on end. 🎧 youtu.be/0wnPJRU_fl0
#Autoimmune Scientist–Patient Perspective Living with a rare autoimmune disease fundamentally changes how you see science. In the latest Keep It Science episode, I speak with Dr Karen Cheng, who has lived with #myositis for nearly two decades and now works globally to ensure that 🧵 1/4
“Quality of life isn’t a side effect - it’s the goal.” As both a scientist and a patient, Jesus brings a perspective that bridges lab bench and lived experience. Jesus is a leukemia survivor with GVHD (Graft-versus-host disease). 🎧 Listen: youtu.be/0wnPJRU_fl0 #KeepItScience

👩🏫 Teaching Science Communication Super excited to be teaching "Science Communication: From Academia to Industry" over the next few days. As a PhD student, I wished I had a better understanding of 🔹understanding the purpose of my messaging 🔹tailoring language to my audience 1/2
2025 Mentoring Reflection As I prepare for my first mentoring session this year, I wanted to take stock of my 2025 mentoring; that year, I mostly engaged in peer mentoring with other small business owners in science and science communication. 2/3
Some of the most important conversations in science happen when we slow down and really listen. Keep It Science Episode 5 explores rare 🫁 lung diseases alongside Prof Dr Allan Lawrie and Dr Sterghios A. Moschos. Hosted by Dr Nick Gaunt. 🔗 Listen: youtu.be/8CQN9U2h388 #RareDisease #scicomm

🌬️ Beyond breathlessness: the unseen impact of rare lung disease. Not all symptoms are visible. Fatigue, cognitive strain, and reduced activity often go unnoticed, even though they profoundly shape the patient experience. 1/2
🧬 How do we move from insight to impact in rare lung disease? In this episode of Keep It Science, Dr Sterghios Moschos from Pulmobiomed shares his transition from academic research to biotechnology leadership, developing non-invasive diagnostics that aim to detect respiratory diseases earlier. 1/2
Product launches are critical moments. You’ve got the innovation, the team, and the hard work behind you. But success takes more than that. It needs clear thinking, strong positioning, and smooth collaboration across teams and locations. 1/2
🫁 The lungs are rarely the full story. In rare diseases, the lungs often reveal what’s happening across the entire body, from molecular disruption to systemic complications. Join Prof Dr Allan Lawrie (Imperial College London) and Dr Sterghios Moschos (Pulmobiomed). 🔗 Listen: youtu.be/8CQN9U2h388
